I am thankful to have found a place where I can work collaboratively with colleagues and families alike. My training in pediatric clinical neuropsychology goes beyond the walls of our offices. Indeed, my goal is to equip caregivers with knowledge of their
child’s strengths and weaknesses in order that they may advocate for their needs at school, identify appropriate services in the community, and foster an enriched environment at home.
I work from a therapeutic assessment framework, in that the evaluation process itself can serve as an intervention. The process of engaging in conversation, discussing findings, and identifying appropriate resources for support can be challenging for some, but also very rewarding for children and caregivers. It is my hope that each family feels heard, is treated with respect regardless of their situation, and walks away with a new understanding of their child and confidence that they can pursue the recommended resources provided to them.
